Good morning. What does it look like for the start of harvest in your area? Any fields opened up yet? And, regarding marketing, do you hear of farmers that will have problems filling contracts? How about you, how's your risk management plan look, heading into harvest?

Mike...There has been more corn chopped for silage starting the last weekend of July and still continuing than I can remember. The only yield I have heard was a field was chopped and Federal Crop estimated the yield at 36 bushels. That probably will be at the very low end in this area. My best guess today would be half of a normal crop....my normal is in the 180s, so I am assuming something around 100 bushels an acre average for me. As far as contracted corn, I think there was less contracting done this summer than there usually is in this area. Dry as some fields look, I wouldn't rule out some harvesting of corn the end of this month.
